There are many valuable attributes to these documentaries, but it is especially moving to hear the testimonies of those old enough to have heard these singers in real life, and now long since no longer with us.
This is a priceless vocal legacy. Personally I would change Kozlovsky to Lemeshev or include both but any format has it's limits, this is understandable. Это наше бесценное вокальное достояние. Лично я заменил бы Козловского на Лемешева или включил обоих, но любой формат имеет свои ограничения, это понятно
Sorprendida, emocionada y muy agradecida por haber tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar de un verdadero regalo. Magnífico documental, una verdadera joya que llena el Alma. ¡¡FELICITACIONES e INFINITAS GRACIAS!!
3:24:41 is amazing! Melchior's son and Wolfgang Wagner chatting in the Festspielhaus at Bayreuth. One can hear the reverb in the Festspielhaus as they converse. Thank you for uploading!
This is a great post! To have all of them in a compilation. I remember several of these programs when they were broadcast on television a long time ago. Good Work!
RIP Michael Scott, author of The Record of Singing books, volumes 1 and 2, who died in April this year. These two books are so perceptive and delight this reader. They are also not without humour. When I first read them in the very early eighties, I wanted to marry him, sight unseen!! Probably fortunate for both of us that we never met!
Gracias por compartir tan hermosas piezas de arte músical. Yo quizá no asista a la opéra nunca, cuesta mucho dinero aún así tengo la dicha de tener mis oidos sanos.
parlando della lirica Kozlovsky e Schmidt in verità entrambi con le loro vocette fanno pallida figura accanto ai loro colleghi Giganti ... questa e' la mia modesta opinione . il vecchio
Priceless documentaries.One gets thrilled by the nuances of the vocal cords ,breathing,floating larynx , intercostal diaphragmatic technics ...etc. But I think only a few 'maestros ' are genuine . Lots of snobbishness , snobbish people listening to themselves.
This is wonderful. However, there seems to be a technical fault near the end, at 5':24:06 for fully four minutes, where there is on sound or commentary for McCormack's unique Il Mio Tesoro and following. I had first thought there was some fault on my laptop, - but no, for about two minutes this treasured rendition goes unheard. Since it was once described by George Bernard Shaw as the greatest musical performance ever on record, I respectfully ask that this fault be rectified.
Yes, this recording initially was a part of this video but TH-cam requested it to be removed for copyright reasons. The alternative was to remove the entire video.
@@daryakiryushko2246 Thank you very much for the explanation, Darya. You have put in great effort ,time and love with this compilation. I am surprised at TH-cam's request for the removal of this important aria. It does the great tenor a serious disservice, surely.
Peccato non ci siano i sottotitoli in italiano, ogni tanto c'è un personaggio che parla italiano e spiega qual'era la grandezza di Gigli e perché... consiglio comunque di guardarlo.
Love this series. All young tenors should watch this. Jürgen Kesting is superb in verbalising why these greats were so great. Zucker on the other hand 🤦♂️, and what he says about Caruso being crude is disgraceful! The greatest ever tenor being called crude!! Una furtiva lágrima 1904 or Spirto Gentil 1906 - crude?! I think he needs to take a laxative or take the cork out of his backside so he can actually talk like a normal human being 😂
The greatest tenor ever only in the mind of people obsessed with ranking who take their marching orders from American advertising .Granted,the Americans have a long standing tradition in advertising and fool many .Yep,he is a verismo tenor,crude or not ,as you like it .When your most performed role is Canio , you are not a bel canto tenor ,you are a diehard verismo tenor ,sobs and roaring inclusive . I think you need a new brain with a true understanding of bel canto style .This not being possible,take a laxative yourself instead of recommending it to other people , and have a nice day in the restroom
@@Nangis123 doesn’t matter if he sang Canio a million times; he was trained in the bel canto tradition dumbo, and his renditions of una furtiva lagrima and spirto gentil more than amply demonstrate this. Who are you anyway, Zucker’s boyfriend, out there championing that incredible voice of his 😂
@@edwardstroud8245 Doesn't matter to those who have no clue about the difference between bel canto and verismo in both technique and style .Matters to those who know the difference . The first group , in addition to having no clue ,can be also spotted by their aggression and propensity to insult others. Apparently the less they know,the more they push themselves to the fore and the more violently do they insult those in the know ,putting words into their mouths for good measure too. I didn't say ANYTHING about Zucker's voice , dear Caruso's boyfriend ,that's just your imagination ,or inability to concentrate yourself long enough to read a four lines comment .
Las listas suelen estar siempre erradas. Son al criterio y al conocimiento de quienes las hacen. Nunca están todos los que son ni son todos los que están. En esta falta Miguel FLETA, uno de los más importantes, el primer Calaf escogido por Puccini para estrenar Turandot. Quien no lo haya escuchado, se ha perdido al más grande. Puede oirlo por este medio y se convencerá: MIGUEL FLETA.
No puedo estar más de acuerdo. Según Lauri Volpi, que no se distinguía por alabar a sus colegas, Fleta ha sido el artista más grande que ha pisado un escenario.
Añado: Para el estreno de Turandot, Mussolini quería un tenor italiano; Lauri-Volpi, Gigli o Martinelli, sin embargo el maestro Toscanini quiso que el tenor fuera Fleta, que sólo hizo 2 funciones porque tenía compromiso con el Metropolitan. Un jovencísimo Gavazzeni estaba en la sala y dijo que el éxito de Fleta fue extraordinario.
@@elpescadordesandalias1599 Hello virgilio sanchez rodriguez . Changed your name? What you write is absolute BS ,and you are very busy writing it everywhere . Let me see... this must be the fourth or fifth where I've seen you ,all tenor videos . LV spoke well of many singers in his books and certainly didn't single out Fleta and even less called him best in history ,are you trolling? I fact I wouldn't exactly call praise what he wrote about Fleta and considering how rapidly Fleta's voice deteriorated he was probably right . Mussolini didn't impose any choice on Toscanini . No,Fleta didn't sing just two performances of Turandot just because he had commitments with the Met . He did sing just two performances because his voice was a poor fit for the role .Not only Fleta but also the other three tenors had contracts with the Met,and Gatti-Casazza forbade all of them to leave the Met during the spring season to sing the La Scala premier .The three others were intelligent enough not to risk their Met contracts for the sake of singing some La Scala premier .It wasn't worth to Martinelli ,it wasn't worth to Gigli who had no real intention of singing Calaf ever , and it wasn't worth anything at all to LV who was to sing the Buenos Aires,Rio de Janeiro,and Met premiers anyway . Only Fleta was childish enough to believe he could have his cake and eat it too ,meaning sing two perfs at La Scala AND keep his contract with the Met , and was cheeky enough to tell teh Met he needed leave because was conscripted in the Italian army. He was going to find out soon enough how wrong he was in playing silly games with the Met . Understandable enough, Gatti-Casazza didn't appreciate Fleta's sob story when Italian news reported he was at La Scala. Fleta was sued for breach of contract, lost, and couldn't show his face again in North America. On top of his financial woes his voice, abused in the few years career, had already begun to give way . He never sang Calaf again despite the fact Turandot was staged all over Europe and South America ,and he wasn't bound by any contract . He never sang much of any operatic role again in the following years .This was the end of his operatic career which had lasted less than 10 years . After that it was just zarzuelas for a few more years .The other three tenors kept their lucrative Met contracts , LV sang his three house premiers and continued to sing Calaf happily for the next 32 years .Gigli too had a career for the next 28 years ,happily NOT singing Calaf . The only one who wasn't particularly happy about the entire situation was Martinelli , who didn't get even one Turandot performance at the Met ,but nobody cared much about him anyway .He had however his Met contract ,which was good money, soon to be halved because of the Depression .Still , even singing for a comparative pittance was better than nothing for him
There are many valuable attributes to these documentaries, but it is especially moving to hear the testimonies of those old enough to have heard these singers in real life, and now long since no longer with us.
Божественные голоса!!!! Спасибо за подборку

What a great collection of beautiful singing. Thank you for the wonderful effort Darya Kiryushko. Greetings fro South Africa
FANTASTISCO! Questi si che erano ancora tenori!
Vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen post. Vieles habe ich erfahren, was ich nicht wußte. Tausendmal Danke!
Sorprendida, emocionada y muy agradecida por haber tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar de un verdadero regalo. Magnífico documental, una verdadera joya que llena el Alma. ¡¡FELICITACIONES e INFINITAS GRACIAS!!

Gigli, après Caruso un bonheur immense
Thank you, thank for this ode to the greatest tenors of the past! Grazie molto!
Magnificent absorbing documentary. Priceless.. Thank you for uploading.
Amazing document. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing!

Thank you greatly for this amazing upload. I really enjoyed every second of the whole 5h40min video.
Wow! I love all kinds of music!
I watched it all!!! Amazing. Thank you for this great piece of history and art :)
Gracias por compartir tan hermosas piezas de arte músical. Yo quizá no asista a la opéra nunca, cuesta mucho dinero aún así tengo la dicha de tener mis oidos sanos.
You don't even understand, these people are talking gold man, they are revealing secrets that every teacher/singer would pay millions and billions.
"And yet...the result was not without fire."
That made me tear up a bit. Such a beautiful way of describing Schipa.
Thank you for such an outstanding compilation.
Thank you for this docu!!!!!!!
О-о-чень любопытный и познавательный пост. Я не профессионал, но было интересно. Спасибо. Желаю удачных и успешных находок в дальнейшем :) .
Gigli: His voice is beyond Beautiful. Truly.
Joseph Schmidt was a freind of my sister-in-laws Grandmother in Vienna before the Third Reich.
a real competition to my radio programs on "great tenors of the past"
Fantastic ...... bellissimo ....
Che voci splendide
A great achievement, though I did miss the inclusion of Giuseppe Anselmi and Aureliano Pertile.
MUY INTERESANTE GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLO

Draya thank you for this wonderful video--John
Este video es fabuloso pero creo que lo voy a editar para oir sòlo las maravillosas voces
That's an incredible video including too much treasure in it..
Без Лемешева список неполный!!!! Он никому не подражал, был уникален, его голос узнаваем из тысячи!
Как и голоса всех исполнителей из этого видео) Чисто технически он проигрывает певцам в этом фильме
Extraoedinar!
GIGLI said ALL TENORS SHOULD TAKE THEIR HATS OFF TO TITO SCHIPA because of the latter's phrasing with a mediocre voice, it became a Work of Art
And yet Schipa's voice hardly lacks beauty.
@@everydaytenor8862 Me too. Hardly a mediocre voice.
What a fascinating documentary, thank you so much for sharing this gem! Charles Castle at 1:00:01 looks like Peter Cook impersonating a music critic!
Claro que a los mùsicos le parecerà fantàstico todas las maravillosas explicaciones
Thank God.
Thanks so much

Does anyone know if there's a recording of Gigli singing a duet with Lily Pons? Seeing as both where at the Met in the 1920s.
Beautiful testament.
Helge Rosvaenge is new to me.

That's Zucker on the left.
Yes, unfortunately, a pathetic clown|
please i want to know about a book to learns about the last technique of singing
Caruso and Tetrazzini on the art of singing
Who is the composer for "Il Primo Amor Sei Tu" that Gigli sings @20:18? Does anybody know where I can get the score?
Ian Clerget internet perhaps?
